[Verse 1]
riff
Shakedown nineteen seven nine,

Cool kids never have the time.


Fm
On a live wire right up off the street
Bb
You and I should meet.

[Verse 2]
riff
Junebug skipping like a Stone

With headlights pointed at the dawn.

We were sure we'd never see


Fm Bb
An end to it all.

[Chorus 1]
Eb EBmaj7 Ab Eb
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues,
Ebmaj7 Ab Eb
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
Ebmaj7 Ab
To dust I guess
Fm Bb Eb
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.

[Verse 3]
riff
Double cross the vacant and the bored,

They're not sure just what we have in store.


Fm Ab
Morphine city slippin' dues down to see:

[Chorus 2]
Eb Emaj7 Ab Eb
That we don't even care as restless as we are,
Emaj7 Ab Eb
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts.
Emaj7 Ab
And poured cement,
Bb
Lamented and assured.

[Bridge]
Cm Ab
To the lights and towns below,
Bb Cm Ab
Faster than the speed of sound,
Bb Cm Ab Fm Bb Eb
Faster than we thought we'd go beneath the sound of hope.

[Verse 4]
riff
Justine never knew the rules,

Hung down with the freaks and ghouls.

No a-pologies ever need be made,


Fm Bb
I know you better than you fake it to see:

[Chorus 3]
Eb Emaj7 Ab Eb
That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues,
Emaj7 Ab Eb
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
Emaj7 Ab
To dust I guess,
Fm Bb Eb
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.

[Outro]

The street heats the urgency of now.


Eb
As you see there's no one around.
